Pre-K Counts program at Reamstown Elementary accepting applications for 2015-16 school year

Cocalico School District is accepting applications for its PA Pre-K Counts preschool program for the 2015-16 school year. This state-funded initiative provides free quality preschool to eligible children residing in the Cocalico School District.

PA Pre-K Counts is designed for children who are 4 years old as of Sept. 1, 2015; and are at risk of school failure because of income (300 percent of the federal poverty level, or a family of four earning $72,750 or less).

Pending approval of the Pennsylvania state budget, the program will be held at Reamstown Elementary School and will include morning and afternoon sessions, beginning Monday, Aug. 31. Children living in the Reamstown attendance area will receive bussing to school; however, parents/guardians will need to provide transportation at the conclusion of their child’s session. Bus transportation is not provided for children outside of the Reamstown attendance area.

Interested parents and guardians should apply now to have their child considered for enrollment for the 2015-16 school year. Applications are available at all Cocalico School District elementary schools, the Central Administration Office, and on the Cocalico School District Web site at www.cocalico.org. Questions can be directed to Dr. Crystal Loose, Denver Elementary Assistant Principal/Title I Coordinator, at 336-1505.
